About Andy Parker

Andrew Maynard 'Andy' Parker is a British rock drummer best known as the founding and current drummer of the Hard rock/Heavy metal band, UFO. Parker began drumming when he was only 7 years old. Ten years later, he started his first rock band with high school friends Phil Mogg and Pete Way called UFO. He joined the group at the age of 16 in 1969. While he joined the band, he recruited guitarist Mick Bolton. Later as the group was gaining momentum, Parker and Mogg started having "run-ins" with Bolton and shortly after fired him. Parker, Mogg, and Way then needed a guitarist and recruited German future virtuoso Michael Schenker. Parker has been in UFO from 1969 to the Present. Parker had medical problems between late 2005 and early 2007, and his spot in UFO was briefly filled by Jason Bonham, until Parker's medical issues were taken care of.
He currently lives, together with his wife, in Texas.

They threw a tuba through the window and then they set some notebooks and band music on fire out in the courtyard, ... Every band instrument they had opened up. We are not sure what all they did to it.

Just by looking at the person it does look like a teenager, but we can't be for sure, ... Chances are it is a current student and/or former students that maybe at high school at this point, or at another local school.

We wanted the album to be able to stand on its own as a whole, as opposed to just being a collection of singles. You've only got 80 minutes on a disc, so we made our decision based on the songs' abilities to fit together and transition into each other.

I feel like every year we've gotten better. Two years ago we didn't any, but we played a lot of close games. Last year, we got a few wins and lost a bunch of close games. Now, we're finally getting the wins.
